CBI to complete probe into J’khand’s RS election within 6 months

CBI will complete its investigation of alleged horse-trading into Rajya Sabha election of Jharkhand within six months. The 30th March election for two seats of Rajya Sabha was cancelled by the Election Commission after more than two crore rupees cash was recovered from a vehicle on that day near Ranchi. Talking to media persons in Ranchi, CBI Director A P Singh said the agency is probing this after an order from Jharkhand High Court. Replying to questions, Mr. Singh also said a CBI team will soon visit Dubai to seek extradition of Sanjay Chaudhari. AIR correspondent reports that the CBI Director's visit to Ranchi is significant as it will give momentum to a number of corruption cases from Jharkhand. The announcement that a CBI team will go to Dubai to bring back Madhu Koda's close aide Sanjay Chaudhari, is sure to dampen those corrupt who have been thinking that few safe heavens of the world can save them from lawful prosecution of investigating agency. CBI Director also sought reports on notorious Fodder Scam, as trials of few VIPs, involved in the scam, are now about to end soon.
